Description
The Church of St Michael is a parish church with 13th century foundations that was rebuilt in 1867, likely by S.W. Perkins. It is constructed from red sandstone ashlar and features a tiled roof in the Early English style. The church has a nave with a south porch, a north vestry, and an apsidal chancel. The nave consists of three bays and includes an octagonal bell-cote at the west end, which is supported by three columns with stiff-leaf capitals. The bell-cote has decorative closed sides, a conical cap, and a finial. The windows are pointed arched with Y-tracery and stiff-leaf capitals on the responds, flanked by hoodmoulds and stiff-leaf stops.
The timber-framed gabled porch has a doorway that resembles the window surrounds, featuring a moulded archway and stiff-leaf ornament. The church has buttressing at the west end and at the chancel arch. A semi-circular headed doorway on the north face is the only remnant of the earlier church. The two-bay chancel has simple lancet windows. Inside, the nave has a trussed rafter roof supported on stiff-leaf corbels, and the pointed chancel arch mirrors the design of the doorway and window surrounds, being supported on two orders with stiff-leaf capitals.
